Alcatel Idol 4S

29.08.2016It fulfils most expectations…

I had the pleasure to review the Alcatel Idol 4 model a month ago, and now I received its (slightly) bigger, more powerful, better equipped and more expensive brother, that is Idol 4s.

It is neatly packed with VR glasses, it has a solid specification and a reasonable price… Alcatel is really becoming dangerous for rivals in the middle-higher price shelf.

Alcatel Idol 4s resembles Idol 4 in many ways – but it is better than it (for a higher price). So it is normal that some opinions and information from the previous review might be repeated. Still, the fact remains that this smartphone has everything that we can expect from a smartphone from the middle price shelf, and what is more the manufacturer spoils us with a nice set of accessories.

The camera in Zenfone Zoom cannot be missed. This is the main star of one of the newest models from the Taiwanese manufacturer, which boasts with a 3x digital zoom, optical image stabilization, laser autofocus and optics signed by the Japanese Hoya manufacturer. And the smartphone itself has impressive parameters, it is not cheap, but when it comes to the price it is slightly below popular flagships.

Known mostly from the so-called budget-class devices, Alcatel surprised us positively by offering a smartphone worthy of the highest shelf – both when it comes to looks and specification, as well as additional accessories. From the outside, the smartphone is a combination of metal and glass, while on the inside it hides an octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM, and is being sold in a set with comfortable glasses for the virtual reality.

Cubot surprised us positively once again. After a successful and an affordable Note S model now has come the time of the middle-price shelf representative. It was created in the cooperation with Cheetah Mobile, a Chinese developer of apps like Clean Master and Battery Doctor. Let us see what was created from this Chinese-Chinese cooperation.

Up to this moment I have been associating Asus’ smartphones with nice parameters, a good price and a characteristic, although not an astonishing stylization. ZenFone 3 completely changed the way of how I look at Asus’ phones.

Lenovo Moto Z Play is a chameleon smartphone. It can change itself, depending on our needs. The possibility to work with replaceable Moto Mods is the biggest advantage of this phone. But there are others…
